It’s important for caregivers to treat their seniors as adults and respect the fact that they get to make their own decisions – even if they’re bad decisions. This might include allowing them to smoke or drink, or even eat sweets as a diabetic.

Caregivers should be conscious to not try to take away quality and comfort during this season of life. Trying to keep seniors from bad choices may end up adding a week of life at the end, but at the expense of enjoying their remaining days:

Today is one of our favorites. 🩵

We honor our caregivers not only as the backbone of this business, but the backbone of this community. Caregivers transform lives every day through their love and patience. Their profound impact of compassion and hard work should be applauded all year long - with a special thank you today. 🩵

You are all truly the best of the best. Thank you! 🩵

It can be challenging for caregivers to get those with Alzheimer’s or dementia to change their outfits on a regular basis. There are various reasons why your senior may be exhibiting confusion, resistance, or discomfort when you suggest it’s time to change their outfit.

If a change is indeed needed, using the right strategies, sprinkled with a liberal dose of patience, can go a long way toward making the dressing experience smoother and a lot less stressful. Turn a potentially tense moment into a positive interaction with these gentle, effective tips:

Some people compare caring for a person with dementia to caring for a child. While this can help explain the level of supervision or support needed, it’s not a perfect comparison.

This kind of comparison can feel dismissive or demeaning, even if the intention was not. The best approach is to communicate needs clearly while always honoring the dignity and identity of the person living with dementia:

Brain damage caused by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can sometimes cause people who have never been violent in their lives to begin displaying aggressive behavior.

It’s important to remember that these individuals aren’t consciously behaving this way, or doing it to be hurtful. They may not even realize what they’re doing. Their actions are simply due to the deterioration of their brain health.

While you as a caregiver or family can’t necessarily prevent these angry outbursts, you can adopt effective ways to minimize their chances of occurring, reduce your own stress, and keep everyone safe. Here are ways to reduce and prepare for aggressive dementia episodes:

While there’s no way around the fact that caregiving can be stressful, stress reduction and management techniques can make a big difference in preventing burnout and improving caregiver physical and mental health.

Positive self-talk, emergency stress stoppers, and go-to stress-busting activities can be powerful techniques to stop the cycle of negative thoughts and improve caregiver mood:
